On 10Mbit you could download 100GB a day, 3TB in a 30 day month, and you can pretty much guarantee some complete w***er would do just that to load up his market stall / just because he can.


Heh, yes I can see that, maybe unlimited is a pipedream, but lets hope reasonable limits prevail, something akin to UKOnlines (500 gig a month I think for their 8 meg service) or it won't be very cheap come the BBC's P2P service (I'm signed up to test it soon)


cheers

Give me.....300gb allowance and I'll kiss Goodlands feet, give me 30 and I'll jump on them. I remember reading something about speed increases to deaden the fall of the cap, I hope it not be a harsh one.
Yes, 10Mbit with 30Gb cap. Bit of a non starter, isn't it?

A high cap such as 500Gb would probably suit most users - after all who has the space to fill up a few hard drives every month?

At the new speed, it will take eight seconds for a full CD of music from a service such as iTunes and only minuets for a whole feature film to download
Perhaps it's about time that iTunes et al ditched their horrible DRM infested low quality lossy downloads and started distributing high quality wave/aiff files? That'd be the day I start buying downloadable music.

Re: Another speed increase?
well im on 2mb and have to say 10mbit with a 30gb cap is going to make me say bye to ntl. I cant see them leaving the cap at 30gb as they are increasing the speed 5 times. Logically the cap should be increased 5 times but as i cant see his happening i think it should at least be 100gb for the 2mb ppl.

A strange way to make a speed increase, everyone gets 10mbit but depending on how fair they are on the caps this could either make them loose a lot of business or gain a lot of business dont let us down ntl

Re: Another speed increase?
When I saw that speed increases were afoot I did wonder how long it'd be before people here at CF started whining about them .....

I don't think we will be upgraded tomorrow (shame!) only that the announcement might be made (if the news story is true) - it will probably take months to implement.

Re: Another speed increase?
i agree there, but if you look at the ntl serivce staus page they have just upgraded the broadband network throughtout the entire country, so maybe it could be possible.

I know they do need to do something to keep ahead, LLU is becoming more and more popular with ISP and as such they are now able to offer much higher speeds, and given the fact that BT is going to launch its 8 meg services in the next coming months, i think NTL will use this time to pip BT to the post

Re: Another speed increase?
Outside of Eastern Asia, is there any ISP that offers 10mbit or higher to 2m customers?

The News of this Massive speed increase is welcomed by me

The only thing is i`m on 1mb, that means it`ll take me minutes to hit my 3gb Speed Cap

Looks like NTL have implemented the usage counters into their system to monitor what bandwidth is being used by which peson and so can now charge per mb/gb.

Hopefully there will be a good cap on 2mb and 3mb speeds, I can`t see them allowing 10mb but only 30 gig a month cap.
